Unleash the Inner Flow' Rida

Like that? How I add the hip hop to the gardening, so its all awkward? I'm sure the gentleman who is Flo'Rida appreciates my effort.   


But really, but really, this week is all about the Flowers that I want to use in and around my casa to freshen things up. On the outside, our home is tan and beige, so I'm really looking for a unique color combo that will liven things up without making us appear delusional.


On the inside, things are clean & classic, with a slight Seventies vibe. By clean and classic, I mean most of the walls are the definition of nuetral...by seventies I mean, mirrors, orange stuff and colonial Spanish fixtures. Yessir. Scarface may in fact have dined at my home.

Not my real bathroom but something very similar

Really the only contention I have on the inside, is keeping the peace between potential flora and current Feline... my Ninja! has been known to wage war on things with petals. Luckily there are hooks (and a little DIY creativity!) for that!


So let's have a look... for the Yard:

Lovey Dovey for this combo both because I'm a huge fan of orange and purple together but also the contrast in flower shapes gives it a quirky yet complete feel. Like instead of a flower arrangement, I'm looking at a composed piece of work... if I were on the Reality Fashion show of the moment I would say "It tells a stoooooooory".


Not so much maybe on the Glass? Although if I could hang that...


Next up, clean manicuring + a foot bridge = forgiveness for traditional color schematic
...yup I'm a critic

But I seriously do love the layout! And also the fence makes it surprisingly intimate, instead of just feeling small.
